Dec. 25 This year's Christmas Day pick? Gotta be Joel and Ethan Coen's True Grit remake, starring Jeff Bridges in the role John Wayne made famous.

Dates TBD, but too interesting to leave out: Danny Boyle follows up his Oscar land grab with 127 Hours, with James Franco as trapped mountain climber Aron "Cut Off His Own Arm to Survive" Ralston. And if the mind-bending trailer is any indication, Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman as a besieged ballerina, is gonna be a must-see.
